I'd like for the C-x o command (next window) to include windows in other frames as well as windows in the current frame.
Does anyone know how to pull this off? Is there another command that I should be using? Is there some snippet of elisp magic that can do this with ease?
To select a different window, click with Mouse-1 on its mode line. With the keyboard, you can switch windows by typing C-x o ( other-window ).
You can use the C-x 0 key combination to delete the current window. C-x 0 merges the freed up space with whereever it came from though, but if I want to merge with a specific other window, C-x 0 won't do the job.
A window is an area of the screen that can be used to display a buffer (see Buffers). Windows are grouped into frames (see Frames). Each frame contains at least one window; the user can subdivide a frame into multiple, non-overlapping windows to view several buffers at once.
C-x o
is other-window
. To go to an other frame use C-x 5 o
which is other-frame
.
Not sure if this is what you mean, but if you want to just cycle through buffers in the buffer list, regardless of frame:
Ctrl x→
Ctrl x←
These are bound to (next-buffer) and (previous-buffer), respectively.
